However, law and contract that results in this, can only emerge out of a polity that has established high trust in their informal institutions. (which is why, if you introduce a low trust population into the mix, law shifts from rule of law (system which constrains arbitrary discretion) to rule by law (arbitrary discretion hidden behind a mask of calculation). The low trust population erodes the informal institutions which results in a demand for formal institutions to fill the gap.

You Must Begin with A High Trust Polity

King of The Hill Games Expose the Enemy’s Technique
Oct 12, 2019, 7:51 PM
—“The most surprising thing Curt Doolittle’s king of the hill games revealed to me (and there’s been a lot of surprising things) was that Christians are just as infuriating to argue with as leftists. Say one honest unflattering thing about Christianity and they come flying out of the woodwork to smite you with fire and brimstone! Oh and the pouting and stomping their feet and the recriminations and the Bible verse quoting and condemnation… it’s too much.”— Shannon Constantine
(Shannon makes my point about abrahamism better than I can

The Subversiveness of The Lie of Equality
Oct 12, 2019, 8:09 PM by Bill Joslin (See what happens when we get bill in the game too???) Equivocation of equality as categorical membership with qualitative assessment ( that being the notion that all are equally valuable), results in an obscurity of ingroup distinction i.e. leads to the notion of open borders and franchise for all. We are equally members of the ingroup (categorical membership) or equally not (not a member of the ingroup)… conflation of “all men are created equally before god” with categorical membership obscures ingroup criteria and disarms any categorical assessment (that dude over in Nigeria was “created equal before god” and thus must be part of our group). this obscures calculation of membership benefit. specifically this stands as an example of creating AMBIGUITY. What is it that our group does? DISAMBIGUATE. Isonomy and categorical membership as the foundation for the notion of equally DISAMBIGUATES allowing for calculation of membership benefit and policing. Qualitative assessment as the foundation for the notion of equality affords obscurity in deciding membership benefit and policing…. which is why, after 100 years of the romantic notions (romantic r@pe of enlightenment ideas) we now have outgroups being extended ingroup benefit while skirting ingroup accountability. Truth is, notions such as equality and tolerance, in their initial application, remain critical to creating the world we would like see manifest. However, romantic age manipulations of these terms paved the way for the left to use our innovations against us, and the further regions of the right to rejects core mechanisms of what made the west great. Gotta admit – our enemies (broadly speaking – platonists) are fucking brilliant, which is why we must be more vigilant. Edit

Guilds and Managerial Class?
Oct 12, 2019, 8:12 PM by Bill Joslin Guilds acted as a counter balance to managerial classes. A manager didn’t obtain trade or craft specific knowledge. When asking a craftsman “how long for this?” or “how much material for that?”,the manager stood at the mercy of the craftsman’s knowledge. The manager had no way of calculating if the craftsman lied or not. In this relationship, the craftsman and guilds they belonged too, could use this barrier of knowledge to protect their own interests (or to abuse managerial ignorance) the introduction of stop-watch managers allowed the managerial class to break down the craftsman skill into menial tasks any 200 pound gorilla could perform with minimal training or knowledge. (mechanization did this too) this transferred productivity from skilled workers to unskilled workers and broke down the barrier of knowledge that counter balanced managerial incentives. It also transferred productivity from the middle to the lower classes. …and the result was a void in protecting worker interests. marx then applies lower class preference for sour grapes to inter class negotiation… and underclass, left unable to protect their interests because they had nothing to trade (skill) in negotiation with their uppers, lapped it up. The trade unions, armed with marxist sophistry, filled the gap which was left by the destruction of the guilds and traditional craftsman knowledge.

Western Man’s Uniqueness in Purpose: Raised to Rule
Oct 12, 2019, 9:02 PM Let me put it in perspective, white people, our fairy tales, our myths, our religion, our education – we were brought up to rule. Ourselves, our families, our polities, our nations and the world. This is what the rest of the world cannot grasp, and what the underclasses cannot achieve. Our civilization evolved for the continuous production of agency – we were all brought up to be princes and princesses – to rule. An aristocracy of everyone capable of joining the aristocracy. and the paternal rule of those who are not. I have been complaining about the anglo seizure of power by the middle class, and the american attempt to create an aristocracy of everyone. But the western man has been trying to create an aristocracy of everyone since we first put horse to wheel. The problem is that loosened the requirements for the demonstration of agency – one’s ability to rule one’s self ,one’s family, on’s business, one’s polity, one’s nation. And we failed to create additional houses for the classes that did demonstrate ability as they evolved education and limited agency.
